The rumor mills about an upcoming Fortnite Polar Peak event have gone into overdrive after a giant eye appeared under the area’s massive wall of ice. If you’re curious about what this actually is, and if rumors of a Fortnite x Godzilla LTM are true or not, read our Fortnite Polar Peak event guide for the latest intel.
Fortnite Polar Peak Event | Giant eye location
Right then, the Fortnite Polar Peak event’s arrival is almost upon us thanks to the arrival of the giant mysterious eye. There’s been plenty of speculation about what it could actually be, but you’re mainly interested in where you can find it, aren’t you?
According to prominent Fortnite data miner FortTory, the giant eye location is at, well, Polar Peak. As you can see in their tweet, the eye appeared behind quite a few layers of ice on Tuesday, May 28. Since then though, it’s managed to shift some of its frozen cocoon.
Looking at this LootLake tweet, it’s free enough now to really have a good look at its surroundings. You can head on over right now if you want to go and see it for yourself. Pun completely intended.
Fortnite Polar Peak Event | Godzilla LTM crossover rumor
So what could the Fortnite Polar Peak event be? Rumors online have already claimed that it’s an upcoming Godzilla LTM event, which ties into Friday’s release of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. However, there was a PUBG x Godzilla tie-in event recently, so it’s not very likely that Epic Games will have secured a licensed event with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures too.
Other gossip has suggested it could just be a monster unique to Fortnite, with various dragon and leviathan rumors having done the rounds since Season 5. It won’t be much longer until we find out for sure though, given that the monster is already breaking free of its icy cage.

Fortnite's 10 Game Changing Pickups
So, you're dropping into Tilted Towers and you need a game changer. Something that will ensure that your next match is memorable. Fortnite has had plenty of these types of items in its brief history, and here are the most devastating. See any of these on the field, and you better run. -
Crossbow
Originally themed for Valentines Day, the crossbow was a devastating sniper rifle even without its fancy skin. A high damage output even on Rare difficulty and five shots to a clip made it a sharpshooters dream, and eventually led to it being vaulted in May of 2018. -
Drum Gun
A hybrid of a Rifle and Machine Gun, the Drum Gun brought a 1920s flair to Junk Junction. It proved to be deadly accurate in the hands of players at close range, even after a round of significant nerfs. Two months after its initial debut, it was curtains for this Tommy. -
Guided Missile
The preferred tool of any rocket rider, the Guided Missile lets you root out camping opponents and sail into the skies of victory. A devastating and rare munition, the Guided Missile saw two tours of duty in the fields of Fortnite. As of now, it's still available to mess around with in Playground mode. -
Infinity Blade
Originating in Epic's hit trilogy of mobile games, this mythic sword only lasted for four days before being banished to the Vault. It powered up players and granted them extra health, creating an in-game boss fight. In the end, it did its job just a bit too well. -
Infinity Gauntlet
A purposefully limited time item, this Marvel Comics artifact turned its wielder into Thanos. His mighty punch, energy blast, and insane leaping ability made players quake in fear during his summer stint in the battle royale. Let's hope he finds other worlds to conquer for the sequel. -
Jetpack
Nothing changes a shooter quite like added mobility. Dodge out of sniper fire and root out towers of foes with the Jetpack, a limited time only Legendary backpack. Aeronauts with enough skill can negate any crafty builders and land the last few kills with pinpoint accuracy. -
Mounted Turret
A turret sequence in most shooters is a drag, but a well executed run with the Mounted Turret can be a thrill. This legendary trap is deployable anywhere there's a flat surface and spurts out infinite ammo as long as you mind the heat and don't take enough damage. -
Remote Explosives
It makes sense that a game partially about building would also have some C4 to even the odds, but the Remote Explosives were too much for their own good. Able to rip apart strategies at a distance and coming in bundles of three, most players don't miss these server bombs. -
Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle
Able to pick out enemies and loot with ease, the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is the current best weapon if you're looking to charge an opposing team. Just be sure to account for its high recoil, lest you be staring into the sun as you take a fatal blow. -
Zapotron
One of the original vaulted weapons in Fortnite's battle royale mode, the Zapotron was an electrified sniper rifle that decimated groups of enemies from afar. It has a great design but doesn't really fit with the rest of the game's more authentic arsenal. Still, don't wear a lightning rod if we ever see this weapon again.
